This week was incredible. It started out last monday. We were at the store buying groceries, in the check out line. We placed all of our things on the check out line and waited for the man before us to finish. We look over and the women begins to check all of our things out on his card. We tell her what was happening and she says that the man wanted to pay for them. He asked us if we were Mormon and then simply said, "Go do something nice for someone else" and then smiled and walked off. I believe that he was simply a good Christian that loved his fellow man. What a touching moment for me.
Another awesome experience this week. We went over to a women's house to visit her. She is a recent convert to the church. I saw that her door handle was really loose and wobbly, so I offered to fix it. She told me that a couple of other guys had tried to fix it and couldn't. I don't know why, but I just decided to try and do it. I took it apart and messed with it a little bit, trying to figure it out. I came to a dead end and didn't know what to do. I then said a little prayer and told God that I needed inspiration on how to change the circumstance and and be able to understand how to fix the door. Step by step instructions were then given unto me on what I needed to do. The door handle is now fixed! It was a cool experience to have the enabling power of the atonement help me to overcome my personal lack of knowledge and allow me to change my circumstances.
Transfers were this week, but nothing changed. Also want to say happy birthday to Lex and little Adlynn! Tell them both that I love them for me! Know that I love you all and that all is going well here. I am having special experiences that are helping me to continue to grow. Have a great week!
